During the daily use of injection molding machines, there may be situations where the slider is damaged. If it continues to be forcibly used, it will not only worsen the damage, but also affect production activities.
Today, our maintenance special will start from
1. Reason for damage
2. Adverse consequences after damage
3. Preventive measures against recurrence
These three aspects will be explained in detail for everyone.
※ Suitable for EV/EV-A/EV-S series
01cause of damage
The main causes of slider damage in injection molding machines during daily use are impact, collision, friction, etc. The following are typical concentrated damage causes during use.
1. The operator mistakenly installed itmoldThe tool was placed on the guide rail and accidentally opened and closed the mold, causing damage to the slider due to impact.
Accidentally placing the mold pressing plate on the guide rail
The slider is damaged after impact
2Scattered foreign objects (material heads, metal sheets) on the guide rail are caught in the slider, causing damage to the slider.
The slider is damaged due to foreign objects being caught in it
3. Long term failure to add butter resulted in poor sliding and damage between the slider and the guide rail.
Not regularly adding lubricating oil
Causing increased friction and poor sliding
Causing increased friction and poor sliding
02Adverse consequences after damage
Please stop using the machine immediately after it is damaged. Please contact the after-sales department of the injection molding machine and replace the new slider before use. If forcibly used, the following situations may occur.
1. After the damage, the internal ball bearings of the slider will scatter and get involved in other mechanical parts of the machine.
Slide ball scattering and rolling into guide rails and other mechanical parts
2Uneven contact between the slider and the guide rail after damage can cause the guide rail to be damaged as well.
Scratches caused by friction between the slider and the guide rail after damage
3The uneven parallelism of the damaged template may lead to product defects.
The deviation of template parallelism may cause uneven fluidity of the resin, leading to a lack of resin on one side or the formation of burrs in the product.
03Preventive measures against recurrence
1Before using the injection molding machine, check for foreign objects on the guide rail and perform a simple cleaning.
2Regularly add butter to the slider to ensure lubrication between the guide rail and slider, reducing rail wear.
